Lieutenant John Thach, then executive officer of VF-3, discovered O ' Hare's exceptional flying abilities and closely mentored the promising young pilot.

O ' Hare's most famous flight occurred during the Pacific War on February 20, 1942.

O ' Hare's Wildcat, armed with four 50-caliber guns, with 450 rounds per gun, had enough ammunition for about 34 seconds of firing.

O ' Hare's initial maneuver was a high-side diving attack employing accurate deflection shooting.

Equipped with the highly successful follow-on to the Wildcat, the new Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat, two-thirds of VF-6 ( twenty-four F6F-3s ) under Butch O ' Hare's command embarked on August 22, 1943 on the light carrier.

" O ' Hare's VF-6 squadron would " still stay broken up " among three light aircraft carriers, the squadron had made itself just too useful filling out the light carrier air groups, and AirPac had no well-trained replacements on hand.

O ' Hare's plan required the Carrier's Fighter Director Officer ( FDO ) to spot incoming enemy formations at a distance and send a " Bat Team " section consisting of a TBF Avenger torpedo bomber and two F6F Hellcat fighters toward the Japanese intruders.

About that time, the turret gunner of the TBF, Alvin Kernan ( AOM1 / c ) noticed a Japanese G4M Betty bomber above and almost directly behind O ' Hare's 6 o ' clock position.

Butch O ' Hare's F6F Hellcat apparently was caught in a crossfire.

Later Rear Admiral Radford honored a request from O ' Hare to take a fighter as command aircraft instead of the Avenger, so O ' Hare in a fateful decision happily drew Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat Bureau Number 66168 from the fleet pool to become his principal CAG plane, numbered " 00 ".

In late November they launched these low-altitude strikes almost nightly to get at Enterprise and other American ships, so Rear Admiral Arthur W. Radford, O ' Hare and Commander Tom Hamilton, CV-6 Air Officer, were deeply involved in developing ad hoc counter-tactics, the first carrier-based night fighter operations of the U. S. Navy.
